What would you do if you were accused of a murder, you had not committed... yet? EVERYBODY RUNS

Summary

In Washington, D.C., in 2054, a technologically advanced Department of Precrime has been created to detect and prevent murders before they're committed. As the respected Detective John Anderton, Tom Cruise plays one of the cops who bust potential murderers. He's a respected officer hired by his even more admired mentor (Max von Sydow). But an aggressive and arrogant Department of Justice agent (Colin Farrell) begins nosing around looking for corruption and thinks he finds it when signs point to Anderton as a future killer. The movie is based on a story by Philip K. Dick.
